Chef Irie’s Bake and Shark with Trinidadian Fried Bake

Bake and Shark Chef Irie style is his take on a traditional Trinidadian favorite. You can use any sturdy white fish for this recipe, and Chef Irie’s Coleslaw will add to the delicious textures and inviting color. But the secret of the recipe’s success will come from the freshly made Trinidadian Fried Bakes, and the condiments you use. If making the spicy Mango Ketchup from scratch is too much work, you can always use a store bought chow or chutney 😉

You can watch Chef Irie’s preparation of Bake and Shark in Taste the Islands – Season 1 on your PBS station or Create TV.
